Nel mio articolo presento un modello di “formazione di secondo livello” attraverso il racconto di un’esperienza e delle sue implicazioni teoriche e metodologiche. Un gruppo di formatori fa prima un percorso di formazione attraverso la DMT all’interno dell’Università e poi viene sostenuto e supervisionato nella progettazione e nella programmazione e valutazione in itinere di due laboratori centrati sui linguaggi artistico-espressivi. I destinatari dei laboratori lavorano nella relazione d’aiuto in ambito interculturale. Si tratta di educatori di una casa famiglia per minori stranieri non accompagnati e di mediatori interculturali che fanno parte di un’associazione che interviene in diversi contesti (educativi, sociali, sanitari, giuridici). L’idea è quella di creare dei cerchi concentrici, in cui avviene una transazione tra contesti e tra professionalità grazie alla mobilitazione di capacità creative, alla integrazione tra le diverse parti di se’ ed alla consapevolezza ed alla “presenza”. Tutto questo viene attivato sia da uno specifico percorso di formazione attraverso la DMT, sia dalla ideazione e conduzione di laboratori artistico-espressivi in prima persona. D’altro canto educatori e mediatori, attraverso l’esperienza artistica e laboratoriale potenziano a loro volta capacità e competenze necessarie in un lavoro in ambito interculturale. Il percorso di formazione proposto ha attivato in tempi molto brevi nuove narrazioni e nuove prospettive esistenziali, grazie alle quali è possibile dare spazio all’ascolto di se’ ed al riconoscimento dell’altro in un’area transizionale in cui ci si incontra, si immagina e si crea insieme. In questa prospettiva è stata di particolare importanza la dimensione di gruppo, che ha avuto parallelamente una funzione di “contenimento” e di “ampliamento” e che ha permesso l’emergere, all’interno di un campo relazionale, del rapporto di fiducia fondamentale per l’espressione delle potenzialità creative di ciascuno, arricchite dall’apporto di tutti.

Abstract

In my paper I present a model of "second-level training" through the story of an experience and its theoretical and methodological implications. A group of educators follows first a DMT training at University, and then it is supported and supervised in designing and planning two workshops focused on languages and artistic expression and in their evaluation. The beneficiaries of the workshops make a social work in intercultural context. They are educators for unaccompanied foreign children and intercultural mediators who are part of an association that operates in different contexts (educational, social, health, legal). The idea is to create “concentric circles”, where there is a transaction between contexts and between professionals, thanks to the mobilization of creative skills, the integration between the different parts of Self, the development of the awareness and the "presence". All this is activated by a DMT training, and by the planning and conducting of workshops on artistic and expressive languages. On the other hand, intercultural educators and mediators, through the artistic experience enhance the capacity and the skills required for a job in the field of intercultural education. The training carried out has activated in a very short time new stories and new existential perspectives where it was possible give space to the recognition of oneself and of the others in a transitional area where to meet each other, imagine and create together. In this perspective, it was relevant the “group dimension” which had, in the same time, the function of "containment" and "expansion" and that, within a relational field, allowed the emergence of the trust, essential for the expression of creative potentialities of each one, enriched by the contribution of all.
